Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fifth wheel comprising a clutch plate and an anti-theft device.
  • fifth wheel couplings are used to connect semi-trailers with trailers to a semi-trailer combination.
  • the fifth wheel consists of a coupling plate on the towing vehicle and a kingpin on the trailer.
  • a receiving opening for receiving the kingpin is formed in the coupling plate.
  • the kingpin is releasably retained in the receiving opening by a locking mechanism.
  • the lock mechanism is locked in traffic to increase safety and the lock is monitored with displays in the vehicle cab.
  • semitrailer combinations are stolen.
  • the mechanical lock is broken open by force, the clutch is disengaged and the trailer is towed illegally with a foreign towing vehicle.
  • the anti-theft device for a coupled semi-trailer known.
  • the anti-theft device consists of a plunger, which acts counter to a spring force in a tubular body on the closure mechanism below the clutch plate and closed with a cylinder lock and can be operated by hand.
  • the cylinder lock is externally visible and it can be recognized where the anti-theft device is located.
  • the anti-theft device is arranged in a housing below the coupling plate. This is also achieved in that the housing is formed in one piece with the coupling plate.
  • the operation of the anti-theft device is as simple as possible.
  • the electromagnet is arranged connectable to a control device in the cab of a towing vehicle.
  • the electromagnet is formed by entering a numerical code on the control device electrically actuated.
  • FIG. 1 shows a coupling plate 2 of a semitrailer combination, not shown in the view from the bottom.
  • the coupling plate 2 is connected by means of bearing blocks 3, of which only one is shown here, and bearing shells limited movably connected to the towing vehicle.
  • a receiving opening 4 for a king pin, not shown, of a trailer can be seen.
  • the kingpin is held in the receiving opening 4 by a closure mechanism 5,6, which consists essentially of a movable lock part 5 and a movable latch member 6.
  • the latch part 6 can be actuated by a hand lever rod 7.
  • the latch member 6 and the lock member 5 are held by tension springs 8.9 in the closed position.
  • the fifth wheel 1 also has sensors 10, 11 for monitoring the position of the hand lever rod 7 and the lock part 5.
  • the sensors 10, 11 are connected via electrical lines to a control device 12.
  • Signaling devices are arranged in the driver's cab which inform the driver about the signals from the control device 12.
  • the signal transmitters can be designed as optical displays 13 and / or acoustic warning signal transmitters 14.
  • a housing 15 On the underside of the clutch plate 2, a housing 15 is shown.
  • the housing 15 is made in one piece with the coupling plate 2.
  • the inventive anti-theft device 16 is arranged. From the housing 15 protrudes a locking member 17 which is accommodated with the protruding portion in a recess 18 on the lock part 5 fitting.
  • the locking member may be formed, for example, as a bolt 17, a claw or a hook.
  • a compression spring 20 and an electromagnet 19 are further arranged.
  • the spring 20 causes the bolt 17 is pressed in the de-energized state of the anti-theft device 16 out of the housing 15 into the recess 18 on the lock part 5.
  • the electromagnet 19 causes the bolt 17 by a electrical pulse from the controller 12 is pulled out of the recess 18.
  • the housing 15 and in particular the bolt 17 are arranged adjacent to the lock part 5, that the anti-theft device 16 forms a homogeneous unit with the lock part 5 at least in the closed state of the fifth wheel 1 and thus offers no attack points for a burglary tool.
  • An encoding device 21 is also connected to the control device 12.
  • a numerical code is input and compared with a stored predetermined value. If they match, the controller 12 will deliver an electrical pulse to actuate the solenoid 19 and the bolt 17 will be released by tightening the solenoid 19.
  • the numerical code or a part thereof may also be communicated only to the receiver of the load at the destination of the semi-trailer instead of the driver. This prevents the driver being able to unlock the anti-theft device 16 during a robbery while traveling.
  • the acoustic warning indicator 14 and the signal lamps or visual displays 13 give the driver all the necessary information about the functioning of the anti-theft device 16 and possibly also about an attempted theft.
  • FIG. 2 is the fifth wheel 1 of FIG. 1 alone, ie without electrical cables and devices shown.
  • the housing 15 can also be formed at a different location of the coupling plate 2, for example, such that instead of the lock part 5, the bolt part 6 or both parts are secured with the anti-theft device 16 or 5.6.
  • the fifth wheel 1 is protected against unauthorized manipulation.
  • the anti-theft device 16 is not visible from the outside and offers, because housed in a housing 15 as an integral part of the clutch plate 2, a longer-lasting protection against burglary attempts than in a lock cylinder visible from the outside. A mechanical release of the connection between towing vehicle and trailer of a semitrailer combination is virtually impossible by this fifth wheel with electric anti-theft device.
